 United States President Barack Obama is the star of the week. He tours Europe, cementing ties with old friends and allies of the US. I illustrated him brimming with confidence and self-assurance.

This attribute of his, an incredible capacity to listen, is what makes him such a hero among the masses both at home and abroad. parent page (9 - 15 April 2009, issue #942) |
